Select a character that you were particularly interested in and write a critical evaluation of how well the actress captured the essence of his/her personality. Indicate what features of the set, costume, lighting, and sound were used to heighten the portrayal of the character.
The actress captured this character very well. She focused on being enthusiastic, strong minded, and assertive, leaning forward and enunciating her words with passion. She wore the suit, appearing well dressed with hair slicked back to mimic a cropped cut. Some details from the costume in the writing aren't quite necessary, but the coffee and sugar packets provide some theatrical effect because if gives the character personality through actions, rather than just words. The set in the story tells us a restaurant, but the video looks more like an interrogation room. There's not much you can do to change a setting in a play quickly, but different lighting may have been more effective in portraying what was written. There was not much other sound in this section except for the tapping of the sugar packets, which gave more hints of passion through gestures.
